And It's Wednesday Again....................

First things first - - 

We need to announce the winner of the drawing for the

Basket Mini Quilt Kit w/hanger.

The Random Number Generator picked Diane who said

"Sewing comes easier these days as a way to enjoy the day.  

Another Snow Day - Hooray!"

Diane, if you will email Tammy at janpatekquiltsinc@gmail.com 

and give her your snail mail address, she'll send you your kit.

Also, Tammy asked me to tell all of you that if you won a kit 

and haven't gotten it, please email her.  She misplaced her list on her desk.  :(

And as promised we have another little 

Blockhead Mini Quilt Kit w/hanger -

The Beeskep.

I just love the little hanger - as well as the block, of course.

For a chance at winning a kit, make a comment, any old comment 

and we will have the Random Number Generator pick

a winner to be announced next Wednesday.

Or to buy either kit, click on the store icon on the top of

the right hand column and do a search when you get there.

Or click here to get to the store.

We still have one more 6" Blockhead Block (the Flags Block)

to make a Mini Quilt out of and I'm going to 

have to skip a week to show it to you. 

First I need to make it and quilt it and right now

I'm busy quilting the Spring Tablestand Quilt - Bunny Hop.

It's called Bunny Hop because the Easter Bunny hopped

on his favorite rooster to help him deliver the Easter Eggs.

(Or since it will soon be after Easter to take a ride 

to see the Spring Flowers.)

 For information on our clubs and to join the Tablestand Club 

(or any of our other clubs)  click here and go to Jan's Clubs.

So - back to quilting and see you next Wednesday

Be sure to make a comment for a chance to win a Beeskep kit.

Huzzah! Huzzah! And it's still Wednesday

Happy Valentines Day All ----- Blockheads -Good News and Bad News

First the Good News.

Lissa at Moda has said we can notify you that there will

definitely be a 2018 Moda Blockheads!!!!!

The exact details are being worked out, (yardage, block sizes, etc) but it is 

definitely a go and I am so excited.

So stay tuned on Wednesdays for further developments

and get your 2017 quilts finished if you haven't already.

Now, for the bad news (:

I have the Blockheads Basket Mini ready

but the hangers didn't get here in time.

Hopefully they'll be here by next week and we can have a drawing

for the little quilt and the hanger.

Meantime this is Summertime - one of my favorite

little wallhangings.

Aren't we all pretty well ready for Summer?

I know it's only Valentine's Day but I am definitely ready.

To help us along, we put the kit on sale for 15% off for a week.

Right now what I'm doing is putting Digital copies of all of the Lilac Ridge, 

Sycamore and Coral Bells quilts in the store, slowly but surely.

Here is Sampler Spree.

Well, back to work.

See you next Wednesday - hopefully with a 

Blockhead Mini Quilt and hanger to give away.

Moda Blockheads- Backing up a bit -Block #10

Basket & Flower

by Me

If you've recently joined you can download

the pattern by clicking here.

This was my second block.  Originally I didn't show people

the steps I take to appliqué each block - mainly because I thought 

they already knew.

But as the Blockheads progressed I realized a whole 

lot of people didn't -  so I started doing blog tutorials.

I also have You Tube tutorials and you can

see my YouTube tutorial on baskets, handles 

and flowers by clicking here.

I did blog tutorials for each block except the first 3.  To do a tutorial I had to 

make another block and if I was going to make another block I might as

well turn it into a Mini Quilt.   So that's what I did.

And today, since we finally got our new store in some kind of working order we're having a celebration sale.  Use the code Eureka15 to get15% off storewide.
You can go to the store by clicking on the picture in the top left column.  (We still have
a few bugs to work out so please bear with us.)

 Anyway, I decided to back up and do the first 3 Moda Blockhead blocks again 

so I will have the complete set of Blockhead Mini Quilts.

I didn't have time to get one done for today but the

next 3 Wednesdays I'll do a Mini Quilt with hanger for the

Basket block, the Beeskep Block and the Flags Block.

And then each week you'll have a chance to 

win a free kit for the Mini Quilt.

Meantime I can tell you about this awesome article Dana Jones wrote about me

for The Quilting Company.  It was great of her.  Thank you so much Dana.

This is Pleasant Gove Primer, a teaching quilt I designed 

using my Sycamore Fabric line.  

Last summer I drove to Golden, Colorado and filmed a set of tutorials

teaching Needleturn Applique and the class was released on February 2nd.

Dana wrote the article for their website.  You can read it by clicking here.  

You can also sign up for the class either there or by clicking on the top box

on the left column.

Well, I'd better stop blogging and get to work sewing :)

Have a good week ladies.
